What it is
The Skip or Ship Idea Score widget lets anyone on your site score a startup, SaaS or app idea in seconds. It returns an overall score out of 100, a Ship / Fix / Skip verdict, the strongest and weakest categories, and the single next step — then links through to the full validator.
It is free to embed, needs no API key or account, and costs you nothing to run. It is a stateless preview, so no emails are captured and nothing is stored.

How to embed it
Copy this snippet into any page where you can paste HTML:
<iframe
src="https://skiporship.com/embed/idea-score"
title="Score your business idea — Skip or Ship"
width="100%" height="440" loading="lazy"
style="border:0;max-width:640px;width:100%"></iframe>Adjust height as you like — 440px fits the form plus a result on desktop and mobile. The widget is responsive and works inside a content column, sidebar or full-width section.
What your readers get
- A score out of 100 on the same fixed rubric the full engine uses.
- A clear Ship, Fix or Skip verdict — not a generic AI opinion.
- Their strongest categories and the single biggest risk.
- The one next step to take before building.
Why we offer it free
Because a score is more useful than an opinion. When the widget is on your page, your readers get an honest first read before they commit to building — and if they want the full 10-category breakdown with real-world signals, they can continue on the validator. There is no catch and no tracking beyond anonymous usage counts.
Direct answer — Free Idea Score widget
The Skip or Ship Idea Lifecycle System evaluates ideas with five consistent signals: market demand, competition intensity, execution difficulty, revenue potential, and customer clarity. Same inputs, same verdict — every time.
What to prove first
One buyer segment with recurring pain and a clear trigger to pay now. If that is vague, validation can't fix it.
What kills momentum
Generic ICPs, vague outcomes, and zero distribution plan. These collapse execution speed within weeks.
What to decide next
One channel, one wedge use case, one pricing hypothesis to test in the next 14 days.
Stop reading. Get your verdict.
Describe your idea and the Skip or Ship engine returns a Ship, Fix, or Skip verdict with a full 10-category score breakdown — free, in 30 seconds, no signup.
Frequently asked questions
Is the widget really free to embed?
Yes. It needs no API key, account or payment. It runs a stateless, deterministic preview score, so there is no cost to you or to us per use.
Does the widget collect data or email addresses?
No. The preview does not capture emails and does not store the idea text. It only posts the description to a stateless scoring endpoint to return a score.
Can I customise the size or style?
The widget is responsive and fills its container width; set the iframe height to whatever suits your layout. It uses a fixed dark theme designed to sit on most pages.
What is the difference between the widget and the full validator?
The widget gives an instant score, verdict and headline strengths/risks. The full validator on skiporship.com adds the complete 10-category breakdown, brutal analysis, and real-world signal checks.
